Technology is playing a key role in improving many of today’s complex workplace problems, from NetZero energy targets for climate change to energy monitoring wearables for human health. However, the actual implementation of technology in buildings raises questions on the intersection of human health, privacy, automation, and environmental reporting. Does it make people healthier, and how?
How do we balance building automation while also supporting human health, which often requires higher energy loads? Are sensors advanced enough to be able to both detect indoor air quality and pathogen levels?
On Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 9 a.m. ET, join our leading experts who will discuss technology trends that enable human-building interactions through automation, thermal comfort sensors, health and occupant perception apps, and performance monitoring. A special attention to technology-for-all populations will be featured with highlights of the WELL Equity Rating and the WELL Performance Rating.
